Tejero has more than 16 years of experience in the recycling industry, including stints with The Newark Group and Allied Waste Services. He also started a hauling and consulting business, California Waste Consultants, which he eventually sold to Republic Waste Services.

“I am looking forward to managing this sales division with a similar rapid-growth approach,” Tejero says. “ECS Refining is well-positioned and has the capabilities to penetrate the enterprise market, and I am excited to be on the front end of that movement. My goal is to drive us into this sector and be a true full-service provider to not only collectors but to the business community as well.”
